1. Remove greens from the turnips, if necessary. Wash and rinse the greens and cut them into thin strips. Set aside.
2. Peel turnips and chop them into small chunks. (I used frozen cubes)
3. Peel and finely chop onions and garlic
4. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. Add bacon, and cook until it starts to render its fat. Add onions, sprinkle with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 3 minutes.

6. Add chopped turnips and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until turnips are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
7. Stir in turnip greens and cook until greens are tender, about 2 minutes.
